A friend of mine, Cecil B., called to let me know that at the 2014 Concours d'Elegance at Pinehurst next year, they plan to have the Mustang as the featured marquee, just as was done at Keeneland recently. They will be looking for some upper level show cars to attend the event. I invited Cecil to register on the site, so he should be able to provide more information. The show is actually on the Pinehurst golf course, so a very neat opportunity!

Hello -
I'm Cecil Bozarth, friend of Caspian65 and owner of a 1966 Tahoe Turquoise GT coupe (my first car) which I restored about 12 years ago. I just wanted to provide a little more information about the Pinehurst Concours. The event is held the first Sunday in May on Pinehurst No. 4 (yep, you get to park on the golf course), and as Charles said, they are looking to put together a class of top-notch Mustangs in celebration of the 50th anniversary. Long story short, if you've gotten a gold award at MCA, your car would be more than qualified. For those who are interested, there is also a drive to Fort Bragg from Pinehurst on Friday, called the Iron Mike Rally.
Here's the link, and I'll be glad to answer any questions: http://pinehurstconcours.com/
And here are videos of the Iron Mike Rally and the show: http://pinehurstconcours.com/2013-event-highlights

Will there be an unrestored/preservation class?
-
Good question - I don't know, but I suspect how they set up the specific Mustang classes will depend a lot on the response they get. (PS -- I'm not part of the concours group, just a NC car enthusiast who would like to see it succeed.)
-
I could bring my 64 vert if I can find reasonable transportation from Holly Springs.
-
Hello Folks -- My ever-observant wife told me they did have a preservation class last year, so I'd say definitely send in an application. Thank your for the positive responses. I'll be driving down my '66 coupe, but won't be entering the show, so say hello if you see me.

They would be looking for cars in factory-new condition with no modifications. Upper level concours-trailered or thoroughbred type cars.
-
Looks like a great show with a lot of beautiful cars.....may have to make a trip back down to NC ;)

it is all original except the paint and I think it is Concours level is it Not ?
Sam
-
Original paint color is pretty important, but the easiest way to see if yours is a Concours d'Elegance level of car is to submit an entry and see if they accept your car.

Thank you for the replies .

Phil,
I was at Mr. Turner's last evening and can attest to the fact that your car is on the lift and all of the parts are still in the bins!! Are wheels required to be on the car for it to be completed??? ;D ;D
Regards,

Cecil, I took Business 320 with you at State in Nelson 240. (spring of 97' I believe) We talked about Mustang's very briefly one day going to the Caterpillar Plant tour with the class. I never knew we would cross paths again.....
I might enter the show in Pinehurst, just don't have a trailer and would hate to drive that far.

I live just outside Pinehurst. This will be the second Concours d'Elegance held here. I did not attend the first one, this is a UPPER END event, my car would not qualify and the cost to attend is a bit high (to me) but if they plan a 50th Mustang display I will be there. I hope to see some of you fine cars in attendance. A member of our car club here operates a high end restoration shop in town, he was involved in the first show and he reported it was a well run event. He stored many of the cars in his shop after the event and our club was able to get a private showing, some very nice cars, high dollar cars!
The Iron Mike drive to Fort Brag is an event I would love to do some day!

Heard today that a '67 coupe that Pete Morgan restored won 1st place a the Pinehurst Concours. ;D
-
Pete's coupe was parked next to my King Cobra and is absolutely beautiful. Yellow was definitely the color to have. The pollen was thick. This was a fantastic show. I highly recommend going if you get the chance. There were some beautiful cars there and we were parked on the golf course fairway. The staff were great and everyone was very friendly.
-
Pete doesn't own the car, just did the restoration.
-
You're right. I had a senior moment. Jack Williams owns the car. We had a chance to talk a little Sunday afternoon.
